In some fantastic news, the legendary Bret Hart will finally get the opportunity to manage FTR this coming June.

As announced by Big Time Wrestling, the Excellence of Execution will serve as Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler's manager at BTW's 10 June show from Webster, Massachusetts. There, FTR will face the tandem of Brock Anderson and Brian Pillman Jr., with Arn Anderson to be in the corner of his son and Pillman Jr.

Of course, both Dax and Cash are huge, huge fans of Bret Hart, with the pair famously coming to the Hitman's assistance when some jackass attacked Hart at the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. In addition to that, Harwood and Wheeler have regularly talked up how Bret was and is a huge inspiration to both of their careers.

It's shaping up to be quite the year for FTR, with them getting to put on bangers with The Rock & Roll Express, CM Punk & Jon Moxley, Dragon Lee & Dralistico, The Briscoes, and The Young Bucks in the past four months. In addition to that, Dax Harwood also put on a classic with Punk in singles action just a matter of weeks ago.

Having recently split with former manager Tully Blanchard, it's been teased on AEW TV that Bret Hart may end up becoming the new manager of Dax and Cash. Now, for one night at least, that will indeed be happening.
